Policy Guidelines and Appeals

The Office of Graduate studies policies have been designed and have evolved
with the following goals intended:

to facilitate orderly progress of graduate students,

to meet expectations of accrediting agencies, other graduate schools and the Board of Regents,

to provide a common standard and,

to encourage development of quality programs.

Each graduate student has the responsibility of being aware of The Office
of Graduate Studies policies described in the current
Graduate Bulletin. Every
effort will be made by Graduate Studies personnel, program coordinators and
assistants and faculty advisers to aid a student in understanding the pertinent
policies.
